I think varnishncsa delivers the kind of logs people are used to from
Squid.  Enabling varnishncsa by default is fine, but varnishlog will
fill up people's disks too quickly, and they may not even be aware of
it before their log partition is full.

The problem is that we're talking *lots* of disk space...  perhaps
around 1 kB per request.
